In this article, I’ll explain what caffeine is, the reasons why you should or shouldn’t have caffeine, and the effects of caffeine on breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding Basics
Breastfeeding is the practice of feeding your baby with your breastmilk. There are many benefits of breastfeeding, including the ability to prevent premature birth, lower the risk of SIDS, and lower the risk of obesity in children. Breastfeeding also provides a better learning environment for children. However, there are also some things to be aware of. For example, breast milk may stain cloth clothes, and you may have a greater risk of breast infections if you have a nipple piercings. Lastly, some people find that breastfeeding is difficult. If this is the case, then you should not feel embarrassed to ask for help. Breastfeeding in public is perfectly normal and most people are happy to help.
What Are Some Breastfeeding Exercises?
There are several exercises you can do to help you and your baby get more sleep and also help you keep up your milk supply while you’re breastfeeding. As mentioned before, babywearing can help you get better sleep as it reduces the stress of holding a baby while you sleep. A recent study found that those who used a baby carrier for nighttime breastfeeding and nursing sessions tended to sleep better. This can be a great way to get some quality time with your baby. Studies have also shown that you can exercise while you’re breastfeeding. You don’t need a gym or special equipment to get in a bit of exercise while you’re breastfeeding. There are exercises that you can do at home, and some that you can do while you’re out and about. It can also be helpful to limit caffeine intake to cut back on how much you’re consuming throughout the day.
How Much Coffee Should You Be Drinking While Breastfeeding?
There is not a recommended amount of coffee that you should be drinking while breastfeeding. Every baby is different and what you drink will depend on your baby’s needs and your preferences. It is recommended that you are having around 200 mgs of caffeine a day, so you should be drinking coffee for the best results. However, since caffeine may be passed through the breastmilk to your baby, it is recommended that you are drinking around a cup of coffee per day to be on the safe side. Additionally, the caffeine in coffee may help with the drowsiness that can sometimes occur when you’re breastfeeding. It can help with engorgement as well.
How Much Coffee Should I Breastfeed?
Another important benefit of coffee to your health is that it can help you lose weight. According to the Mayo Clinic, a cup of coffee a day can help you lose one to two pounds a week. This can contribute to a total weight loss of up to about three pounds in a month.
Can Breastfeeding Cause Hyperemesis?
Even though breastfeeding has many benefits, it can still cause some challenges. Some of these challenges include the onset of Hyperemesis (severe vomiting, a lot of times with nausea) and an increased risk of high blood pressure. There is a possibility of a blood clot developing in the breasts. Also, breastfeeding causes dehydration which can make a woman feel tired and fatigued.
